Folk Bands and Artists
Kathryn Tickell & The Side
Channeling their diverse musical experiences into a powerful new sound, The Side, stay true to the spirit and essence of Kathryn’s own Northumbrian folk tradition, whilst unleashing the talent and creativity of each individual musician.
Kathryn Tickell - Northumbrian pipes, fiddle
Louisa Tuck - Cello (Principal Cellist, Oslo Filharmonien)
Ruth Wall - Harp (Goldfrapp, Fitkin)
Amy Thatcher - Accordion, clog dancing (The Shee)
Evocative slow airs that could break your heart move seamlessly into life-affirming jigs and reels. Amy storms into a clog dance; Kathryn’s dizzying rapid-fire piping contrasts with the richness of the cello, and Ruth’s sparkling harp playing melds it all together – a very special evening is in store in the company of Kathryn and The Side.
“I can’t remember feeling so exhilarated by such a match of music and landscape.” Richard Morrison“ - The Times
